Speaker 1: Is Michael garfil Michael Garfield. Michael Garfield's joining in the
Speaker 1: high Tech Texan.
Speaker 2: Michael Garfield is here with a high Tech Texans. It
Speaker 2: has to make life.
Speaker 1: Easier new technology, and Michael Garfield has something you might like.
Speaker 1: Michael Garfield is your high Tech Texans. Three decades helping
Speaker 1: you make magic with your gadgets. Heard worldwide on the

Speaker 2: And we are off first weekend of February. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: January went by so fast. YadA, YadA, YadA. Shut up people,
Speaker 2: because we got two hours that will float by fast.
Speaker 2: It is called the high Tech Textan Show. Maybe a
Speaker 2: little pep in my voice, maybe a little sadness is
Speaker 2: in voice, says I turn another year older pretty much
Speaker 2: almost this weekend, and maybe it's a decade older. Oh milestone,
Speaker 2: or not hold your calls, hold your get well, don't
Speaker 2: hold your gifts. If you would like to thank me
Speaker 2: for wasting, spending and informing you for well over twenty
Speaker 2: three years, well over a third of my life. If
Speaker 2: you want to figure that out, feel free to find
Speaker 2: me at high Tech Textion dot com and I'll take
Speaker 2: gift cards, e cards, whatever it is. But enough about that.
Speaker 2: There is a lot to dissect. I hope your weather
Speaker 2: was great. I hope it wasn't. It's kind of nasty
Speaker 2: in Texas, certainly where I am based. And if you
Speaker 2: are listening in Dallas, what's up? KFX are eleven ninety
Speaker 2: San Antonio, WAI twelve hundred AM and h Town Houston
Speaker 2: KPRC nine fifty am. Terrestrially, we all are over the
Speaker 2: state of Texas. And also I Heart Radio. You can
Speaker 2: download listen live, you could download the app, listen on
Speaker 2: demand with the podcast. No matter how you listen, we
Speaker 2: thank you and we are going to talk about this
Speaker 2: new AI a week ago when I signed off the radio. No,
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody in America knew what the headline
Speaker 2: was going to be earlier this week. What would happen
Speaker 2: to the AI stock stocks that are involved with artificial
Speaker 2: intelligence like Nvidia. Man, how quickly technology changes. This is
Speaker 2: why I'm actually I love covering this industry. It's just
Speaker 2: you never know. You just snap your fingers and something
Speaker 2: changes and we welcome to the world Deep Seek. That's right,
Speaker 2: Raise your hand. Who has downloaded the app? Who has
Speaker 2: tried it. Open your phone lines. This is what we're
Speaker 2: here for. Let me give you the number my friends
Speaker 2: or actually have deep seek or open AI or chat
Speaker 2: GPT or whoever want on't you have them call me
Speaker 2: three four six twenty nine texts in three four six
Speaker 2: two nine T e x A N. That's how you
Speaker 2: can get a hold of me. For some reason, it
Speaker 2: keeps ringing and ringing and an artificial intelligence robot picks
Speaker 2: it up. Feel free to record a voicemail and we
Speaker 2: do have the authoritie to play your voicemail on my
Speaker 2: show to ask your questions or get your advice, or
Speaker 2: just hear your opinions. And I would love to hear
Speaker 2: your opinions about number one AI in general and number
Speaker 2: two Deep Seek, which came out of nowhere. I'm going
Speaker 2: to talk about that. Listen. There's a ton of other
Speaker 2: things that yapp about too. I've now had the Samsung
Speaker 2: Galaxy S twenty five Ultra for at least a week
Speaker 2: now week and a half, I've been testing playing with that.
Speaker 2: I've got more thoughts, including the AI that is built
Speaker 2: into that phone. If you're interested in buying one of
Speaker 2: these super fast new Nvidia Graphic processing cards. People are
Speaker 2: lined up for these graphic cards. I am not kidding
Speaker 2: you at at best Buy and computer stores like they're
Speaker 2: giving away Chick fil A's or something. It's hilarious. We
Speaker 2: got a week or so before Super Bowl. We got
Speaker 2: a lot of information about that. I am your guy.
Speaker 2: But let's do start off with deep Seek. Earlier this week,
Speaker 2: US tech stocs they tumbled because a small Chinese artificial
Speaker 2: intelligence startup said it can compete with the likes of
Speaker 2: Chat GPT and other US based AI models at a
Speaker 2: fraction of the cost. Deep Seek. If you're not familiar,
Speaker 2: that is the name of the app. It is the
Speaker 2: name of the website. It is a startup that was
Speaker 2: founded in China less than two years ago, and it
Speaker 2: shot to the top of Apple's App Store Free app
Speaker 2: chart after releasing earlier this week a new open source
Speaker 2: AI model that it says rivals open AIS work. Open
Speaker 2: AI is the company that oversees Chat GPD. The website
Speaker 2: deep Seek was so big it had outages because there
Speaker 2: was so much spike in interest. And yes, I actually
Speaker 2: had an issue going to their website and tried. I
Speaker 2: have not downloaded the app yet. I don't know why
Speaker 2: it is it because it's potentially you know, Chinese, I
Speaker 2: don't know what's being downloaded in there. Obviously a lot
Speaker 2: of politics and flowed in that. But I was gonna
Speaker 2: try it on the website. Couldn't even log in, couldn't
Speaker 2: even log in. That's why I want your opinion. But
Speaker 2: tech company stocks, including those of leading AI chip maker
Speaker 2: in Vidia, they slumped on the news and clearly tech stops.
Speaker 2: They're now under massive pressure, led by Nvidia, as Wall
Speaker 2: Street is gonna view Deep sick deep Seek as a
Speaker 2: really perceived threat to US tech dominance in owning the
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call it the AI revolution. So starting at
Speaker 2: ground one, deep Seek, what is it, Well, it's an
Speaker 2: AI laboratory. This startup says it's AI models, which is
Speaker 2: called deep Seek V three and deep Seek R one.
Speaker 2: They're on par with the most advanced models that have
Speaker 2: been out for a while from open Ai, which is
Speaker 2: a company behind chat GPT and also Facebook's parent company
Speaker 2: met Up. Chinese corporate record show that the controlling shareholder
Speaker 2: is a is a gentleman named Liang Winfing, co founder
Speaker 2: of a hedge fund. Now you're probably asking why is
Speaker 2: deep Seek shaking up the tech world well, because the
Speaker 2: company says it costs less than six million dollars to
Speaker 2: train its deep Seek V three model. Open Ai, in comparison,
Speaker 2: spent more than one hundred million dollars to train the
Speaker 2: latest version of chat GPT. The tech is impressive, especially
Speaker 2: since deep Seek says it used less advanced chips to
Speaker 2: power its AI models. What deep deep Sea says, these
Speaker 2: chips and there have been some restrictions going back to
Speaker 2: the Biden administration of you know, Canshinese companies get American made,
Speaker 2: you know, or other chips shipped to them. Deep sick
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm having a problem. It's like deep sex,
Speaker 2: which is I don't know, is it a movie or
Speaker 2: Deep Seek says the chip restrictions, they haven't stopped it
Speaker 2: from releasing a model that's twenty to fifty times cheaper
Speaker 2: than the open Ai model. So how has the stock
Speaker 2: market been reacting? Well, in Vidia, it ended that first
Speaker 2: day down seventeen percent. It wiped out nearly six hundred billion,
Speaker 2: that's six hundred billion dollars from the company's market cap.
Speaker 2: That was a record single day loss. Oracle. They partner
Speaker 2: with soft bank and open Ai that dip nearly fourteen percent.
Speaker 2: It did shake it up Deep seeks app. It's powered
Speaker 2: by this deep Seak V three model. The app hit
Speaker 2: the top of the Apple app Store Hot free Apps
Speaker 2: and it is free. Are their security concerns? Well, it's
Speaker 2: the latest apput connects to China, TikTok's competitor, red note.
Speaker 2: It's shot to the top of the social networking app
Speaker 2: ranks earlier this month after they thought TikTok was gonna
Speaker 2: go bye bye. Deep Seek my guess is expected to
Speaker 2: raise security concerns, and I think it's a wake up call.
Speaker 2: I think even President Trump said Deepseaks technology should act
Speaker 2: as a wake up call for American industries which do
Speaker 2: need to be laser focused on competing to win. So
Speaker 2: there you go. I hope I caught you up. We're
Speaker 2: going to take a break. Give you the number three
Speaker 2: four six twenty nine Texan call me Michael Garfield's name.
Speaker 2: You can also go to my ex account, my Instagram account. Oh,
Speaker 2: we had a lot of fun stuff on Instagram. High
Speaker 2: tech text and spell the whole thing out. Hi, g
Speaker 2: H T E c h t X in your calls.
Speaker 2: Lots of stuff to talk about right here. On this
Speaker 2: week's abversion of the High Tech Texan Show. ID you
Speaker 2: thank you from the bottom of my little art for
Speaker 2: contending to asten to the show for well over twenty years,
Speaker 2: new in Dallas, New and San Antonio over the year ways,
Speaker 2: but you can always find all the past shows on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for all the nice emails coming
Speaker 2: in with birthday wishes. I am turning a year older,
Speaker 2: but aren't we all? Aren't we all? We got to
Speaker 2: keep it young people. Speaking of nice of the comments, Geez, Michael,
Speaker 2: you don't look your How do you know my age?
Speaker 2: Did he? I tell you my age? Anyway? I guess
Speaker 2: I do have a face for radio, but sometimes you
Speaker 2: put a little makeup and write lighting on me. I
Speaker 2: could do some TV if you follow my Instagram account
Speaker 2: Facebook and you watch Great Day Houston, which is on
Speaker 2: the CBS affiliate channel eleven KHOU. I am a correspondent
Speaker 2: twice the this week. I was out and about in
Speaker 2: the Houston area. I was live did several live segments
Speaker 2: from the Houston Auto Show, by the way, all through
Speaker 2: this week, and if you're in Houston, I may recommend
Speaker 2: you go to the Houston Auto Show it's at the
Speaker 2: NRG Center. Had some fun time. It's actually not just
Speaker 2: an auto show. It's an auto boat show. It's the
Speaker 2: Auto Boati Show. Seriously, that is what they're calling it.
Speaker 2: You can get tickets online Houston Autoshow dot com. Man,
Speaker 2: I saw a one million dollar yacht. I actually did
Speaker 2: a stand up segment on a one million dollar yacht. YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2: Had some neat cars, three hundred plus cars, four hundred
Speaker 2: different boats. And by the way people ask me, it's like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: can you buy a car and bring it legally in Texas?
Speaker 2: You cannot buy a car at an auto show. You cannot. Sorry,
Speaker 2: you got to go through a dealer. Or if you
Speaker 2: get some of these new electric cars like a Testla,
Speaker 2: I guess you can go straight through them. But you
Speaker 2: can buy a boat at a boat show. Did not
Speaker 2: know that until this week. Anybody got a cool Milsky.
Speaker 2: I got a beautiful Marine Max yacht that I can
Speaker 2: sell you that it was pretty cool, but you could
Speaker 2: buy it. But I'd love to see and I guess
Speaker 2: people do it. I don't know. I mean, I like boats,
Speaker 2: I've been on boats. I'm not buying a boat, but
Speaker 2: I just want to see somebody plunk down, you know,
Speaker 2: four hundred girl Milski right there on a Saturday at
Speaker 2: the boat show and just trailer the thing out of
Speaker 2: the out of the convention Center. That would just be awesome.
Speaker 2: Love seeing that. Love seeing that. Also this weekend in
Speaker 2: Houston to a lot of stuff going on Houston at
Speaker 2: NRG Park Monster Jam. Thursday morning, I did a TV
Speaker 2: segment live on the dirt They were building the dirt
Speaker 2: track and everything with Monster Gym. I was with uh Stevens.
Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable name, but his dad got got him
Speaker 2: into it too, and it was it was pretty cool. Anyway.
Speaker 2: His ride is thunder roris thunder It. These things are
Speaker 2: so loud. They he let me actually climb up. I
Speaker 2: got into this the the wheels alone or sixty inches okay,
Speaker 2: I am a I'm what if I'm six foot tall?
Speaker 2: These things were almost as told as me. It's unbelievable,
Speaker 2: how hig are you? But anyway, they're smashing and the
Speaker 2: crash and they're doing all that stuff. It is this
Speaker 2: Saturday is Sunday and next Saturday at RG Stadium. So
Speaker 2: a lot of fun stuff and you can find all
Speaker 2: that inside info if you want to actually want to
Speaker 2: see what the video looks like from inside a cockpit
Speaker 2: of one of those monster cars on my Instagram high
Speaker 2: tech text and Hi g h T E C h
Speaker 2: T e x A N. One week from right now,
Speaker 2: we will be watching the Super Bowl. The Cowboys will
Speaker 2: not be in it, The Houston Texans will not be
Speaker 2: in it. The NFL team that San Antonio does not
Speaker 2: have will not be in it. So who do we
Speaker 2: root for? I'm not an Eagles guy, so I guess
Speaker 2: I have to root for Kansas City, which was the
Speaker 2: original Dallas team back in the late nineteen fifties. The
Speaker 2: Dallas Texans true look it up, So I guess I
Speaker 2: have to root for Casey. I will be watching it,
Speaker 2: and I mentioned this last week and I'll tell you
Speaker 2: this again. There there are several ways to watch the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Yes, it's going to be on Fox, so
Speaker 2: if you have cable, But if you don't have cable,
Speaker 2: because it's on Fox and it's not on ESPN, and
Speaker 2: it's not on Amazon and it's not on Netflix and
Speaker 2: it's not on a peacock, you can wash it over
Speaker 2: the air. And I have long been a proponent of
Speaker 2: watching television with an Ota antenna over the air on antenna. Obviously,
Speaker 2: there are digital signals now that have been for well
Speaker 2: over twenty years, but local TV stations they are mandated
Speaker 2: by the FCC to continue to throw out a free
Speaker 2: digital signal. You have a digital TV, probably you just
Speaker 2: need to go get a digital antenna. You can get
Speaker 2: these things really inexpensive ten bucks fifteen. There's really no
Speaker 2: reason to pay thirty forty bucks. They could be indoors.
Speaker 2: They can sit there. I would put it. I recommend
Speaker 2: it putting it near your window, aiming it towards where
Speaker 2: the broadcast antenna tower is, which you can find out online.
Speaker 2: And then you could stream it for free. Well it's
Speaker 2: not even stream you can watch it for free over
Speaker 2: the year on Fox. Right. So, and I'll tell you
Speaker 2: this again. If you compare side by side and over
Speaker 2: the air digital channel versus a cable channel, you can
Speaker 2: see an absolute difference. The cable channels are compressed. They
Speaker 2: have to shoot four hundred five hundred, you know, cable
Speaker 2: channels through this little wire into your home versus over
Speaker 2: the air uncompressed digital signals. They're much better. You should
Speaker 2: try this. The other thing is there's relatively no latency
Speaker 2: on over the air signals I watch, and I have
Speaker 2: because I'm still stupid. I still have Exfinity, which is
Speaker 2: an arm in LA, which I've got to stop. Hey,
Speaker 2: I pay too much money. But anyway, I am easily
Speaker 2: fifteen to thirty seconds behind on live sports, and so
Speaker 2: if I'm texting my buddies, they're texting me what the
Speaker 2: play just happened, even before I saw the thing, and
Speaker 2: so on big games like this, I try to watch
Speaker 2: it over the year because number one, it's almost immediate,
Speaker 2: it's almost live, and it looks better. It looks better,
Speaker 2: by the way, if it's some reason you want to
Speaker 2: stream it for one of the first times, you're gonna
Speaker 2: be able to stream this for free from an app
Speaker 2: called toob tub I. You may have seen if you
Speaker 2: flip through your settings of your digital TV they come
Speaker 2: built with with apps. You'll see Netflix and you'll see
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime Video, you'll see Peacock, you'll see Max, you'll
Speaker 2: see Disney Plus. You may see one called twob tub i.
Speaker 2: All right, it is free and it is advertiser supported,
Speaker 2: but it's a streaming service and they are going to
Speaker 2: show the Super Bowl. You're actually gonna be able to
Speaker 2: stream the game in four K, which you don't hear
Speaker 2: a lot because there I believe Fox is gonna shoot
Speaker 2: this in four K, and not a lot of sports
Speaker 2: are actually shot in four K because it's very expensive.
Speaker 2: You need the whole cameras and everything. So try that
Speaker 2: tub I TV. It's free, it's been around for a while.
Speaker 2: Fox actually bought it about five years ago. Reaches about
Speaker 2: one hundred million monthly active users this month, so to
Speaker 2: be another way to go to. And then they've got
Speaker 2: the commercials too. I always like I'm a marketing guy
Speaker 2: and I dig advertising and I dig commercials. I like
Speaker 2: some of the teasers too, because it's the when you
Speaker 2: spend eight million dollars and I'm not getting you. Eight
Speaker 2: million dollars is what Fox is charging for some of
Speaker 2: the ads that you're gonna see probably the first quarter,
Speaker 2: maybe the second quarter too. They want you to watch
Speaker 2: these things, and they're pretty cute and pretty clever. And
Speaker 2: the companies that buy it, instead of just shooting their
Speaker 2: wad for thirty seconds of forgetting about it, they release
Speaker 2: them or parts of these commercials beforehand. And so for
Speaker 2: this past week, I've been seeing this Helman Mannase, I
Speaker 2: can't even stand that commercial that they're reuniting when Harry
Speaker 2: met Sally, but Billy, Crystal, Meg Ryan, they are getting
Speaker 2: I mean they're not gonna recop I mean dollar for
Speaker 2: dollars and not get they're eight million dollars back. But
Speaker 2: they are getting so much airplay for new stations, from YouTube,
Speaker 2: from people linking to it on the social media going, oh,
Speaker 2: how cute is this? Here's in when Harry met Sally,
Speaker 2: and I will admit it's cute, but the hell if
Speaker 2: I'm buying any mannaise people, that is absolutely not happening.
Speaker 2: They so anyway, they release that too. They've also got
Speaker 2: some teasers for the first time. You're gonna see ritz Crackers,
Speaker 2: You're gonna see Hoggin DAWs, Instacart, coffee Mate, They're spending
Speaker 2: a lot of money and their very first Super Bowl ad.
Speaker 2: You're gonna see a lot of humor. You're gonna see
Speaker 2: some nostalgia and a lot of celebrity appearances too. Probably
Speaker 2: gonna see a little bit more AI specific advertising also,
Speaker 2: And so go take a look some of those teasers.
Speaker 2: They're pretty fun. And I saw, yes, I've seen the
Speaker 2: Budweiser Clydesdale commercial. It tug my heartstring. How the horses
Speaker 2: pushing the keg up and down the road. I want
Speaker 2: to how they train that horse. You know what, It
Speaker 2: may be an AI horse. And so I'm all about
Speaker 2: the big game. It sucks that no Texas team is there.
Speaker 2: If you're a Cheese fan, if you're an Eagles fan,
Speaker 2: raw Rod, good for you. All I know is I
Speaker 2: am in a square pool. I'm in a square pool
Speaker 2: that if I win per the per Corps payout is
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars. So you can figure out how much
Speaker 2: I put in. I only about one square, So number one,
Speaker 2: what is even if I win all four quarters? I
Speaker 2: will still report to work next week. But dang, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be I'm gonna have a smile on my face
Speaker 2: all this past week. So you need to check out.
Speaker 2: That's right, ten thousand dollars payout per quarter. I hang
Speaker 2: with some rich friends people I do. I don't even
Speaker 2: know what I'm doing. Good luck to you if you're
Speaker 2: in a square pool. Michael Garfield bought up of the are.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere, because when we come back, we are
Speaker 2: gonna talk. You're gonna answer some of your questions. And
Speaker 2: I'm gonna continue talking about the Samsung Galaxy S twenty
Speaker 2: five Ultra. I've had it now for well over a week.
Speaker 2: I continue to enjoy it, and I continue to find
Speaker 2: out some new things about it. And I'll let you
Speaker 2: know if you should go out and spend thirteen hundred
Speaker 2: dollars when it was released on February seven.
Speaker 1: It is right.
Speaker 2: Listen to that big Boomy Boys Michael Garfield behind Tech
Speaker 2: Texan show. Hey, I appreciate you tuning in. Also appreciate
Speaker 2: one of our big partners, Cabo Bobs. If you were
Speaker 2: living in Houston and San Antonio, you got one too.
Speaker 2: Check out Cabo Bobs. What am I I eat there?
Speaker 2: Easily over under his two point five times per week?
Speaker 2: It is uh, you make your own. You just go
Speaker 2: down the road and you could tell them to make
Speaker 2: your own tacos. You can make your own massive burritos.
Speaker 2: I kind of have sometimes I videotape. I'm in, I'm like,
Speaker 2: there's no way you're rolling that burrito. I mean they
Speaker 2: put so much stuff and their britos homemade tortillas so
Speaker 2: good and do not sleep on their tortilla chips. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: the double thick crunchy tortilla chips, homemade walk the in
Speaker 2: the caso abstinctively love that. Thank you. Cobo Bobs, four
Speaker 2: of them located in Houston, one in San Antonio, Dallas.
Speaker 2: Suck it up. You don't have it yet. If you're
Speaker 2: listening at Austin, that's their headquarters. They got several in Austin.
Speaker 2: Go to Cobo Bobs and tell them. Mister Michael Garfield
Speaker 2: just absolutely loves it. But they know they're hear it
Speaker 2: on the radio. I'm the only one talking about it.
Speaker 2: Phone number here three four six twenty nine. Text and
Speaker 2: should I take it? Should I? Should I? Take an email?
Speaker 1: Over here?
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Callum Reid. How you doing, brother Callum Reid?
Speaker 2: Make sure that we are on air and also on
Speaker 2: the podcast after this. Should we do a little something something? Okay,
Speaker 2: let's go a lot of emails? All right, let's do
Speaker 2: this right now. Emails Michael Garfield at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 2: What do we have in the old inbox? You've got
Speaker 2: mail boom? Okay, all right, let's see over here. Let's
Speaker 2: see if we can figure this answered out. Dear Garf,
Speaker 2: just listen to your show. My name is Jason I
Speaker 2: live in San Antonio. I love your energy. How long
Speaker 2: you've been doing this? Why, I've been doing it twenty
Speaker 2: three years, but we've only been on the air in
Speaker 2: Waai for about three months. How you doing Oai? I'd
Speaker 2: love you San Antonio, Central Texas. Anyway, I continue, Michael
Speaker 2: my symptoms. My cell phone cannot get good reception. I've
Speaker 2: tried everything from wrapping it in foil, which I think
Speaker 2: may be a wives tale. Any tips and tricks to
Speaker 2: improve my cell signal any Thank you very much, and
Speaker 2: I continue to listen to your show. That's Jason in
Speaker 2: San Antonio. Yes, I don't know if that aluminum trick works.
Speaker 2: I've never had any luck to improve my cell service
Speaker 2: with the aluminum foil thing. So let me see if
Speaker 2: I could talk you down off the old ledge over here.
Speaker 2: Number one, if you actually go outside and find a
Speaker 2: ledge to hold your phone up, that that may be
Speaker 2: trick number one. But the settings Jason on your phone
Speaker 2: maybe will help you get a better cell service, all right.
Speaker 2: And there's also some tricks too. When I just said
Speaker 2: stand on the ledge, don't laugh. I want you to
Speaker 2: move yourself, move physically, move so that there are no
Speaker 2: obstructions between your phone and any cell towers outside, and
Speaker 2: that may involve stepping away from metal objects concrete walls
Speaker 2: because those kill reception. Instead, go to a window, go
Speaker 2: outside if possible. I know, sometimes it's not the most
Speaker 2: convenience thing because you want to sit on your couch,
Speaker 2: you want to watch your TV. Well, then put a
Speaker 2: damn TV outside? How about that? There you go. Here's
Speaker 2: another one. Do you have a phone case on? Sometimes
Speaker 2: you may want to remove your phone case. I don't
Speaker 2: like doing that or recommending it. I think phone cases
Speaker 2: really or smart. They protect your phone from drops. But
Speaker 2: it doesn't hurt to remove whatever case you have on
Speaker 2: your phone, especially if it's a thick case, so the
Speaker 2: phone's antenna isn't blocked by anything and it can get
Speaker 2: a better signal. Here's another one. Make sure your phone's charged.
Speaker 2: May sound stupid, but searching for and connecting to a
Speaker 2: stronger signal it does drain battery power, so if you're
Speaker 2: low already on battery, you may have a difficult time
Speaker 2: getting good service. Here's another one too. Then I've tried
Speaker 2: this at work. Sometimes turning the phone's connection off and
Speaker 2: then back on it can be a very quick and
Speaker 2: very easy way to try to fix your signal. And
Speaker 2: that way is you turn on and off or off
Speaker 2: and on your airplane mode. You don't need to start
Speaker 2: the whole phone, but the airplane mode. What it does
Speaker 2: It restarts the Wi Fi, the Bluetooth, and the cellular
Speaker 2: network modems in that phone. They'll start up again and
Speaker 2: it forces them to find the best signal in the area.
Speaker 2: It's very simple. If you have an Android, you swipe
Speaker 2: down from the top of your screen, you look at
Speaker 2: the quick settings, and then you tap the airplane mode
Speaker 2: icon and you wait for it. Give it a good
Speaker 2: It takes about ten seconds. Give it a good ten
Speaker 2: seconds to completely disconnect from its Wi Fi and cellular connections.
Speaker 2: Then tap it again. It turns it on. iPhone not
Speaker 2: really sure. I don't have an iPhone, but I think
Speaker 2: you can access airplane mode from the control center. All
Speaker 2: depends which model of an iPhone you have. Go try it.
Speaker 2: That could help to and that hells that that has
Speaker 2: in the past helped me down. Also, if that really fails,
Speaker 2: restart the whole phone and you laugh. But I do
Speaker 2: this for my computer. I do it for my my
Speaker 2: cable service. Almost I do it for my laptops. If
Speaker 2: for some reason, whatever device you're using just goes bluey,
Speaker 2: and I've done it. What's cars too, I've unplugged the
Speaker 2: connectors to the nose, to the batteries too. If some
Speaker 2: reason something's not working, shut the thing down. Let it
Speaker 2: see it. Sometimes when you hear, hey, my cable's not working.
Speaker 2: My cable box head and working. Unplug your TV for
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds. Unplug the cable. That stuff does work too,
Speaker 2: and so little things like that. If you really want it,
Speaker 2: I'll go back to Jason's. If you're still having trouble,
Speaker 2: take your SIM card out of your phone. Maybe it
Speaker 2: has some dust, little tiny SIM card because the SIM
Speaker 2: card is actually the phone number in there. See if
Speaker 2: it's damaged, See if it's positioned in the SIM tray correctly.
Speaker 2: Then put it back in your phone. All right. If
Speaker 2: you have an e SIM, there's nothing you can do
Speaker 2: the electronic SIM. Best you can do is restart your phone.
Speaker 2: You can check your carrier settings. You can update your
Speaker 2: software too. Don't sleep on that. Go to your about
Speaker 2: setting about scroll all the way down and it'll say
Speaker 2: phone updates. See if you've got the latest phone updates
Speaker 2: to whatever version. You're hat, so you can call your
Speaker 2: phone's carry. If you're a variety, if you're a total
Speaker 2: wireless person, if you're a T mobile, if you're an
Speaker 2: AT and T, contact them, go to a store, see
Speaker 2: if they can do. And if worse comes to work,
Speaker 2: screw it. Stop paying for cell phone signal. Just use email.
Speaker 2: Ah to get a landline people, Oh my gosh, I
Speaker 2: just lost half of my I lost three quarters of
Speaker 2: my listeners. I don't even know what a landline is.
Speaker 2: Shout out to my parents listening in Dallas right now.

Speaker 2: have a landline. Who's got a line, Jefferson Jason, thank

Speaker 2: mobile number, and then obvious we do a via social media,

Speaker 2: It's just this did not happen when I started in
Speaker 2: radio twenty years ago. Yeah, to have it but yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a big test tube radio Knockay, I'm not that old,
Speaker 2: not at that Actually, I personally almost am that old
Speaker 2: as I turn another year older this weekend. Thank you
Speaker 2: again for all the shout outs and emails in post.
Speaker 2: All right, who has to talk a little bit more
Speaker 2: about big Galaxy S twenty five Ultra. Week ago, I
Speaker 2: was in San Jose, California. Thank you to Samsung and
Speaker 2: Berlin Rosen and all the nice folks like Nicole and
Speaker 2: Michael and Dale forgetting me and I don't know a
Speaker 2: lot of other journalists up there so we can learn
Speaker 2: and play with and meet the Samsung folks to learn
Speaker 2: about the Samsung new Galaxy S twenty five series. They
Speaker 2: did announce and they are on pre order right now,
Speaker 2: the Galaxy S twenty five, the Galaxy S twenty five Plus,
Speaker 2: and the Galaxy S twenty five Ultra. They will be
Speaker 2: available I believe on February seventh. And is it worth it?
Speaker 2: I've answered that question a lot over the past week,
Speaker 2: and I will say this, I'm I've long been a
Speaker 2: Samsung fan. This is an unpaid endorsement which I do
Speaker 2: not do a lot of. And I've sold more Samsung
Speaker 2: probably phones and gear for the past years that they
Speaker 2: should be endorsing me. But that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 2: I'm a Samsung fan and this is really, really a
Speaker 2: very good phone, the Ultra. It's a very big phone.
Speaker 2: I've been playing with like I've been using the Flip phone,
Speaker 2: the Samson Galaxy Flip, Flip five, Flip six. I love
Speaker 2: the form factor. This thing does not fold. It's a
Speaker 2: chocolate bar size, big old bar of soap. I don't
Speaker 2: love that fact. But in terms of cameras, the AI,
Speaker 2: so many other features. Little s pen, little pen that
Speaker 2: you can write on the screen in digital et ink. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do like it. But my answer is this, I
Speaker 2: answer a question with a question myself, Well, how old
Speaker 2: is your phone? Well, I have a Galaxy S twenty two.
Speaker 2: Somebody had the Galaxy Note, and they don't make the
Speaker 2: Galaxy Note anymore. Really, they actually kind of flip the
Speaker 2: Note over to the Galaxy Ultra, the s Ultra series.
Speaker 2: If you've got a phone that's over three years old,
Speaker 2: you know you should be updating with some of the software.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a crack, maybe you want a faster processor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: go ahead and really take a deep, long look That's
Speaker 2: why I tell you to where Kate put cases on phones,
Speaker 2: all right, put a phone condom on them, because they
Speaker 2: do protect the screen, they do protect the outside from
Speaker 2: chips and things, and that will make you probably last
Speaker 2: and it could give you another year, two years or
Speaker 2: even more longer. You don't need to go get a
Speaker 2: phone just because some company releases a phone, unlike what
Speaker 2: you know, you know with you know, Tim Cook or
Speaker 2: Steve Jobs, you know hasn't betted in her mind. But
Speaker 2: getting back to the S twenty five, it is a
Speaker 2: very good phone. The cameras are just stupid awesome. They
Speaker 2: really really are a lot of the stuff that I
Speaker 2: shoot that goes on air, that goes on my Channel
Speaker 2: eleven Houston CBS stuff it is shot with my smartphone.
Speaker 2: Right now and for a long time, I use the
Speaker 2: S twenty four and now out for the past week,
Speaker 2: I've been using the Galaxy S twenty five Ultra. They've
Speaker 2: got four lenses and the new Ultra wide camera which
Speaker 2: went from twenty five megapixels last year to now fifty megapixels.
Speaker 2: The resolution is stunning, and so much so I think
Speaker 2: at rivals is are you shooting this on your cell phone?
Speaker 2: Garfer or are you actually using a real broadcast camera.
Speaker 2: It's tough to tell. And again I've only had it
Speaker 2: for a week. We can have and some of the
Speaker 2: features really are nice. The zoom is very nice, the
Speaker 2: overall images, the color, the way they actually can shoot video,
Speaker 2: and what's called the log version, which is really interesting.
Speaker 2: It shoots it in kind of this tone down, unsexy,
Speaker 2: weird looking version. It's almost a raw and if you
Speaker 2: know what a raw is, raw means you shoot or
Speaker 2: you take photos in raw, then you can edit them
Speaker 2: because it's a very high end, very high formatted, like
Speaker 2: a lot of storage it takes up. But the Samsung
Speaker 2: has twenty five You can shoot video and what's called
Speaker 2: the log, then go back and in a snap you
Speaker 2: can correct it with colors. So those number of different options.
Speaker 2: I've used it at night. I've tried to shoot the moon,
Speaker 2: shoot the stars and everything. It works very very well,
Speaker 2: and it's fast. To This version of the s twenty
Speaker 2: five oli Trup snap Dragon eight Elite chips specifically for Galaxy.
Speaker 2: It's got twelve gigs of RAM built in. The battery
Speaker 2: is pretty strong. It's got a five thousand milliamp battery
Speaker 2: two telephoto lenses, and it's got a stylus. And the
Speaker 2: funny thing is, I think I've used the stylist like twice.
Speaker 2: It's a new type of stylist. This one does not
Speaker 2: have I don't believe a Bluetooth chip in there, So
Speaker 2: the other one's the previous versions. You could take this
Speaker 2: little stylus which is built into the bottom left. It's
Speaker 2: like shoved in there, and you pop it out and
Speaker 2: you can actually write on the screen and draw on
Speaker 2: the screen and sketch on the screen, make notes on
Speaker 2: the screen. But it used to be able to actually
Speaker 2: control remotely the camera and some other features that you
Speaker 2: still can do a few nifty tricks like that, but
Speaker 2: I don't know. Samsung may not be, you know, putting
Speaker 2: a lot of importance for lack of a better term,
Speaker 2: into the stylist. I personally don't use this stylus a lot.
Speaker 2: But the snap Dragon eight really really fast. I like
Speaker 2: it too. In terms of Fickle's physical design, the S
Speaker 2: twenty five Ultra, if you look at it and when
Speaker 2: I take it out of my case, has rounded quarters. Okay,
Speaker 2: The Galaxy Note was very angle, very ninety degree ninety degree.
Speaker 2: This one round it. I like it too, right, the
Speaker 2: S twenty five, the S twenty five plus the phone
Speaker 2: edges now are flat, and I think, to me, it
Speaker 2: makes the phone a little easier to hold. It seems
Speaker 2: that this Ultra weighs less than last year's model, even
Speaker 2: if it's a few ounces. All right, and overall it's
Speaker 2: good real quickly before we get out of here. Oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, the AI, the AI I was at
Speaker 2: the Galaxy Unpacked event San Jose last week, and they
Speaker 2: really highlighted its relationship and partnership with Google. And that's
Speaker 2: a really good way to think about AI, because you know,
Speaker 2: you do need a Google account for using a Gemini,
Speaker 2: which is Google's AI you know assistant if you will,
Speaker 2: and Samsung you need a Samsung account if you want
Speaker 2: to use the on device AI. But there's some neat features.
Speaker 2: You can long press and the power button and I
Speaker 2: could pull up a Gemini interface. You can ask it
Speaker 2: some things. Now, this has a really quick button that
Speaker 2: I don't need to use Shazam or sound out. I
Speaker 2: can hold it up and listen to a music. I
Speaker 2: can on a song and it'll tell me what's going
Speaker 2: on the camera. I can take a picture of someone
Speaker 2: in portrait mode. I can immediately snap my fingers. They
Speaker 2: can make a sketch out of them, a three D
Speaker 2: cartoon out of them, a cartoon. It's just it's good stuff.
Speaker 2: Walk into one if you want to try it. If
Speaker 2: they may, I don't know if they're there yet. They may.
Speaker 2: They may not even have demo versions to February seven.
Speaker 2: Walk into a total Wire. Total Wills is not gonna
Speaker 2: have it. Walk into a Verizon store and walk into
Speaker 2: a Carrier store and play around with it. I like it.
Speaker 2: Little features like the now bar. I like the idea
Speaker 2: of that. Now it's called the now bar. What it is.
Speaker 2: It's on the lock screen and it shows live updates,
Speaker 2: your background apps, anything you don't eat. It even unlock
Speaker 2: up to you and see what's going on. More testing
Speaker 2: I need to do. I do like the Ultra. It's
Speaker 2: really cool. And again take it for what is word
Speaker 2: I am. I'm a Samsung fan. I'm an unpaid Sed
Speaker 2: and Sung fan. But those are my thoughts. One more
Speaker 2: hour to go the High Tech Texting Show.
Speaker 3: I do think if for hanging it in there, don't
Speaker 3: go anywhere is Michael garfil Michael Garfield, Michael Garfields joining.

Speaker 2: tip and I'm more than happy to take care of you.
Speaker 2: That's three four six twenty nine, Texan Michael Garfield at
Speaker 2: iHeartMedia dot com. That is the email. All right? Are
Speaker 2: you nerds and geeks out there? Which I am not.
Speaker 2: I do talk about nerdy and geeky stuff, but I
Speaker 2: mean I don't nerd out by waiting in line outside
Speaker 2: of a store for it to open in the cold
Speaker 2: winter's nights of Texas to buy an Invidia graphics card.
Speaker 2: No but that's what people did earlier this week. So
Speaker 2: in video and we know it. In Vidia, it's the
Speaker 2: chip maker that is worth billions and billions of dollars
Speaker 2: or whatever. It's been two years. It's a two year wait,
Speaker 2: but in Vidia finally released and put on sale. It's
Speaker 2: very highly anticipated g Force fifty. It's a series, the
Speaker 2: g Force geg Force fifty series of GPUs graphic processing units.
Speaker 2: That's a chip. It's two thousand dollars for the RTX
Speaker 2: fifty ninety five zero nine zero fifty, two thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Anybody splurge on one yet, Love for you, Love for
Speaker 2: you to tell me why you waited in line? And
Speaker 2: is it that cool? Is it that fast? These are
Speaker 2: people who open their own computers to sauce it up,
Speaker 2: spice it up, build their own computers. If you're reading this,
Speaker 2: if you're listening to what I'm saying of it, the
Speaker 2: good news is a major retailers, Best Buy New Egg,
Speaker 2: they've begun selling them, the first wave of them. And
Speaker 2: the bad news is it's very high demand and there's
Speaker 2: limited initial availability and they're literally was I saw people
Speaker 2: posting pictures on of people intense camped out of I
Speaker 2: think it was. It was at a microcenter of buying
Speaker 2: these things. My goodness, people, you are intense. I could
Speaker 2: appreciate the love, though. I mean, maybe I'll line up
Speaker 2: when a new bourbon is released gitally in the fall.
Speaker 2: I know, i'mitator. I mean, I've never waited in line
Speaker 2: for a PlayStation or nextbot. I don't think my kids have.
Speaker 2: I've waited in line for football tickets. I remember, back
Speaker 2: in the day, Texas basketball ut football tickets. I've waited
Speaker 2: in line two. Not so much for a graphics card anyway,
Speaker 2: if you want to figure out how to get it,
Speaker 2: if you're set on buying it, probably use the notification
Speaker 2: features for best buying. Other other retailers what they have
Speaker 2: notifications to have the best chance of securing one of
Speaker 2: the cards before they sell out now real quickly. There's
Speaker 2: several of them. The g Force RTX fifty ninety most expensive,
Speaker 2: most expensive consumer graphic you know chip that Invidia has
Speaker 2: ever released, two thousand dollars. But it's also one of
Speaker 2: the most powerful, and it's very power hungry too. I'm
Speaker 2: not getting into the big the gigabits. If you know
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: But it's pretty it's pretty freaking powerful. Okay, specs are amazing.
Speaker 2: They have a one for one thousand dollars. Oh, the
Speaker 2: fifty eighty A right, not as fast, not as you
Speaker 2: know much memory, but pretty darn fast too. They've got
Speaker 2: one for seven hundred and fifty dollars. Ooh, I'm getting
Speaker 2: in your price range people. Seven event it's the RTX
Speaker 2: fifty seventy TI all right. It's probably the model with
Speaker 2: the most interest from people who want to buy something
Speaker 2: in this fifty series, and because it does feature a
Speaker 2: good amount of RAM I'm not throwing out numbers here
Speaker 2: for you, but also you know the price point. It's
Speaker 2: seven to fifty versus two thousand dollars. Two thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: all right, so good luck you here, you're here. And
Speaker 2: then there's one I think there's one more, the fifty seventy. Ope,
Speaker 2: there is the RTX fifty Now this is one at
Speaker 2: five hundred and forty nine ers. There's one for five
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty bucks. Most affordable. It all depends. It's
Speaker 2: like phones, it's like anything. If you want the highest processing,
Speaker 2: but you're gonna spend a lot of money, and so
Speaker 2: it's very tough to get your hands on one of these.
Speaker 2: Nvidio New Graphics card company itself even stated that they
Speaker 2: expect significant demand for the g Force RTX fifty ninety
Speaker 2: and the fifty eighty, and they believe stockouts may happen.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe you go in the secondary market,
Speaker 2: maybe you go on Amazon. Maybe just wait. Some countries
Speaker 2: may don even see shipments until mid February. I saw that.
Speaker 2: So for all your geeks, for all your nerds, for
Speaker 2: all your computer people who I live out there, baby,
Speaker 2: if you got it and you've installed it, tell me
Speaker 2: what's what's so cool about it?
Speaker 3: Did?
Speaker 2: Should? I? Should? I?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Up at myself. I mean I've got kind of I've
Speaker 2: got an HP all in one, very happy with it.
Speaker 2: I mean I really don't feel like opening up my computer.
Speaker 2: These are really for you know, and I don't want
Speaker 2: to build a car. I built a computer once with
Speaker 2: my son. I mean I didn't love it. I really didn't.
Speaker 2: He thought it was cool because he built this thing
Speaker 2: because he plays all the game he's a gamer. But
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's not hard. I mean, just watched
Speaker 2: some YouTube videos how to do the thing. So since
Speaker 2: then he's built his own two or three. Actually I
Speaker 2: should ask my son, Josh, my little son. He may
Speaker 2: have ard, he may have stood in line and got
Speaker 2: one of these new and video cards. I'd ask him.
Speaker 2: I tell him to call in. But oh yeah, my
Speaker 2: three kids don't listen to my show. That got other
Speaker 2: things to do. But I do thank you for tuning
Speaker 2: in and listening. Eight three US sorry three four six
Speaker 2: twenty nine text in three four six two nine t

Speaker 2: of the ads they do look cool. Did you hear
Speaker 2: the State Farm they canceled their Super Bowl ad? I
Speaker 2: do follow this news. State Farm They've long done some
Speaker 2: Super Bowl ads. Remember last year they had Schwarzenegger with
Speaker 2: I think Danny DeVito, I know, get to the Choppa
Speaker 2: or what really cool they I State Farm planned to
Speaker 2: be in the super Bowl, but because of the LA
Speaker 2: fires over the past few weeks and all the money
Speaker 2: they're paying out, and they just didn't. It was a
Speaker 2: bad look and so they just saved eight million dollars.
Speaker 2: Look at it that way, even though they got free
Speaker 2: publicity from me from that ten second mentioned so that
Speaker 2: you will not fee state farm. But like a good neighbor,
Speaker 2: they are there. And I do hope everybody listening in
Speaker 2: LA who was affected by the fires, and I do
Speaker 2: have some LA in California listeners, thank you on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2: that use your GPS and I use your wife, I
Speaker 2: use your proximity. I mean, you can get down to
Speaker 2: is this thing over your roof right now? Is it
Speaker 2: over your roof? And there's a lot to pick from it.
Speaker 2: There's there's no reason to even pay for some of
Speaker 2: this because nobody listen. It has been it rained, like
Speaker 2: you know what this pack past week in Houston. It's
Speaker 2: snowed in Houston this past week, all over Texas. It's
Speaker 2: just it's wherever you're listening. I know, this is just
Speaker 2: the craziest time here. You don't want to get caught
Speaker 2: in the rain. Without an umbrella, you don't get snowed in.
Speaker 2: But these some of these apps, I will tell you this,
Speaker 2: A lot of them collect and distribute your data and
Speaker 2: that could pose a danger to your privacy, all right,
Speaker 2: you don't want that, so it's important to understand all
Speaker 2: their privacy policy too. So you can use your iPhone
Speaker 2: or your andro built in weather app. But if you're
Speaker 2: not happy, I do have if you yes, you can
Speaker 2: use the Weather Channel. I don't use the Weather Channel app,
Speaker 2: but when I travel, right before I pack, I do
Speaker 2: go to the we I go to weather dot Com,
Speaker 2: which I think is the Weather Channel, and I pull
Speaker 2: up another city because I don't know exactly where I'm
Speaker 2: staying in that city. Like before I went to San
Speaker 2: Jose last week for Samsung, I pulled up the weather
Speaker 2: dot com it's the weather Channel, and I put in
Speaker 2: San Jose. I didn't know if I was downtown, suburbs
Speaker 2: or whatever. And then that gave me what's going on.
Speaker 2: ACI Weeather acu Weeather has an app gives you. They
Speaker 2: have something called the minute Cast, minute breakdown Forecast by
Speaker 2: the minute. That's pretty cool and it gives you a
Speaker 2: really detailed look for the next four hours, probably when
Speaker 2: the rain's gonna start, when it's gonna stop. But the
Speaker 2: temperature is going to be at specific times. I like,
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. Here's when I haven't tried, and so
Speaker 2: don't try us, because if somebody had sent me that,
Speaker 2: someone just sent me this one right now. Carrot Weather. Yeah, carrot,
Speaker 2: that's what it's called. Carrot. I didn't know carrot tops
Speaker 2: a weather person too. Carrot Weather gives you the weather
Speaker 2: with a little sassiness, apparently because you could pick the
Speaker 2: personality you want to have if you wanted something very
Speaker 2: professional or if you have something called overkill. And apparently
Speaker 2: there's some heavy profanity. Note to self, download Carrot Weather.
Speaker 2: I would love to see that bleep bleeate blate bleep,
Speaker 2: snow is coming. I hate that blate blake bleep meteorologist. Oh,
Speaker 2: that'd be awesome. That'd be awesome. Weather Bug is a
Speaker 2: neat one too. I've tried that Weather Underground. I've tried
Speaker 2: weather underground. Weather Underground also. Okay, And by the way,
Speaker 2: they got a nice part. They've got a very interesting
Speaker 2: privacy policy for that because the appletes you know upfront
Speaker 2: that it's going to use your data for targeted ads, right,
Speaker 2: but you can opt out, which is nice too. If
Speaker 2: you want to get really a little bit more in depth,
Speaker 2: you can go to Noah in a the National Oceanic
Speaker 2: and Aeronautic and whatever the hell it is. I think
Speaker 2: that maybe a paid subscription, but to me, you don't
Speaker 2: need to pay the description. And so yeah, there's a
Speaker 2: number of different weather apps, so you may want to
Speaker 2: try some of those. You see you answer, you ask
Speaker 2: a question, I try to answer them over here over
Speaker 2: here too, so that may is going to get show
Speaker 2: right here. Uh, somebody who asked me this, I don't
Speaker 2: have an email, but somebody asked me a few weeks
Speaker 2: ago about encrypted messages, about the iPhones encrypt messages. The
Speaker 2: new androids don't also, And because I was talking about WhatsApp,
Speaker 2: WhatsApp is a really good app that does encrypt messages.
Speaker 2: Because you know, there's so many hacks, and you know,
Speaker 2: are we worried about this country and this company with
Speaker 2: federal officials and warning people to keep their data safe
Speaker 2: and cyber espionage campaigns end you really want end to
Speaker 2: end encryption And at the end of the day, what
Speaker 2: it is, that's a security method that keeps your communication secure.
Speaker 2: So no one, including Google third parties, they can read
Speaker 2: eligible message between when they travel between your phone and
Speaker 2: the phone that you sent that to. And there are
Speaker 2: applications that offer into end encryptive messages. Uh, Telegram is one,
Speaker 2: Session is one. What's app is one Facebook Messenger app,
Speaker 2: not Facebook, but Facebook's Messenger app, which I actually used
Speaker 2: to communicate with some people also into into endecrypted because
Speaker 2: that that happened last year too. By the way, real
Speaker 2: quickly on get out, how do you switch to into
Speaker 2: end encrypted messaging? The best way is to begin using
Speaker 2: applications that support it. Use What's app as a text
Speaker 2: you know, is your texting app? I message yes on
Speaker 2: Apple That is also into connect Signal is another one,
Speaker 2: and some applications they have messages that will pop up
Speaker 2: that says this is encrypted and what have you. Multi
Speaker 2: fat multi factor authentication they can also use for sensitive
Speaker 2: accounts rather than just using a password to log in,
Speaker 2: and so that acts as extra security for those accounts
Speaker 2: until our world can stay one or two steps ahead
Speaker 2: of hackers, which I don't know if it ever will,
Speaker 2: because there's some smart people out there try to do
Speaker 2: into endocrypted. It Again, a lot of companies they use
Speaker 2: VPNs to log in to get to their company's internal
Speaker 2: emails or did same thing companies. Your company is probably
Speaker 2: is going to start making you switch to an end
Speaker 2: to end encrypted thing. But what's app I messaged and
Speaker 2: signal that is what endto end means. And so thank
Speaker 2: you very much for the inquisitive. We will take a break.
Speaker 2: Two more segments. Thirty minutes to go. Michael Garfield. It
Speaker 2: is the HTT High Tech Text and Special Birthday Show

Speaker 2: forget the Socials Live because a lot of fun comments
Speaker 2: on the Socials high tech text and spell the whole
Speaker 2: thing out high tech t e x a N. Got
Speaker 2: an inside look at a Monster Jam car. I did
Speaker 2: a TV segment earlier this past week Monster Jam is
Speaker 2: in Houston this weekend at Real actually not Reliance RG Stadium.
Speaker 2: Got to interview one of the drivers and I got
Speaker 2: to climb into a very tall Monster Jam. You can
Speaker 2: see what it looks like inside got some Samsung Galaxy
Speaker 2: S twenty five Ultra videos that I'm doing because I'm
Speaker 2: still playing and testing with that new device. I just
Speaker 2: gave that about thirty minutes ago, really full review, and
Speaker 2: earlier in the show. By the way, I think I
Speaker 2: started the show with Deep Seek AI. If you're waiting
Speaker 2: for me to talk about Deep Seek Ai, which turned
Speaker 2: the world upside down and a lot of the a
Speaker 2: lot of the stock, the AI stock chips and what
Speaker 2: have you. I talked about the very first segment. So
Speaker 2: if you want to hear that when we're done with
Speaker 2: the show, you can go to iHeartRadio dot com look
Speaker 2: for high Tech Texan Michael Garfield, and you can podcast
Speaker 2: this whole thing again. Just listen to it again. Why
Speaker 2: not got anything else to do? Super Bowls next week?
Speaker 2: Not really at all. Who who's back working in the office.
Speaker 2: You know, COVID came in and it did changed the
Speaker 2: paradigm shift of everything in this in this world on
Speaker 2: planet Earth. It changed, but it changed about working from home,
Speaker 2: getting on the zoom calls, not getting dressed, wearing your pajamas.
Speaker 2: The companies now there, they're wanting and some of them
Speaker 2: are demanding that you get your butt back in the office.
Speaker 2: How did I know if they're really in your office? Well,
Speaker 2: I have not played with this device, but I saw
Speaker 2: it from Logitech. I like Logitech. I think I have
Speaker 2: for years. I've had a Logic at Wi Fi device.
Speaker 2: Logitech just came out with something called the Logitech Spot
Speaker 2: and it uses a very tiny millimeter wave radar and
Speaker 2: it's for inside your home or inside your offices. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know if Logitech's Spot was specifically made for this.
Speaker 2: And it's a relatively small device that looks like if
Speaker 2: it's just in the palm of your head and maybe
Speaker 2: a bit a little bit larger. This could be a
Speaker 2: corporate office management solution. So what it does. It's a
Speaker 2: sensor that senses people in a room, but it also
Speaker 2: measures carbon dioxide, temperature, pressure, urmidity, so you could see
Speaker 2: what's going on in a room. Radar sensors, they're not
Speaker 2: very powerful. It's not like you think. But these are
Speaker 2: sensors that they could be pretty invasive for snooping. Wait
Speaker 2: a minute, So if I'm an employee employer and I
Speaker 2: want to put some of these sensors in the conference
Speaker 2: room or the breakroom or even my personal office. They
Speaker 2: potentially can sense employees' heart rates and breathing. They could
Speaker 2: report whether a room is being occupied or not. Now
Speaker 2: doesn't know how many people are in that room, And
Speaker 2: I'm not going to causing Logitech on snooping whatsoever. Listen,
Speaker 2: anybody can go get a webcam for ten to fifteen
Speaker 2: bucks and put it somewhere. There's a lot of ways
Speaker 2: to do it. But I was reading something may have
Speaker 2: been the Vergin. I'm gonna give them some love of that.
Speaker 2: But this Logitech, it could be potentially used for larger
Speaker 2: rooms and companies who may already be using cameras to
Speaker 2: detect and track employees. It could I'm just saying, man,
Speaker 2: they could turn itself into its severance. Right is at
Speaker 2: this at the TV show on Appleplus, which I don't
Speaker 2: have and I've never seen it, but I heard it's weird.
Speaker 2: It's about an office or something. It's called Logitech Spot.
Speaker 2: Is it even on sale right even now? I don't
Speaker 2: even know if it came out, but anyway, it's I
Speaker 2: guess what I'm saying is, I don't do this to
Speaker 2: scare you, and I'm not here out to get any
Speaker 2: specific company. I use Logitech products there's other companies that
Speaker 2: it is just devices are smart that they can be
Speaker 2: used for other things that maybe the company didn't initially
Speaker 2: mean to launch them for, or maybe they did and
Speaker 2: maybe they just didn't market it that way. But get
Speaker 2: your butts back in the office, people, and get back
Speaker 2: to work. Why I'm gonna throw something, this is listen,
Speaker 2: this is here comes a little life question. Why are
Speaker 2: so many people up at arms about going back to work?
Speaker 2: I will say this, I am of the ilk of
Speaker 2: a different generation where you know, my kids were in
Speaker 2: their twenties. They have never worked in an office or
Speaker 2: either entrepreneurs. They one of them works for a company
Speaker 2: but works from home. They never met his bosses. That's
Speaker 2: a lot of how you do it. I grew up
Speaker 2: in an era where you work. You went to an office.
Speaker 2: You were a suit and a tie to an office,
Speaker 2: and you had a briefcase man, and you were there
Speaker 2: nine to five if not more, and you reported to
Speaker 2: your boss and you did everything that was back in
Speaker 2: the day. Now, I haven't worked in an office on
Speaker 2: a regular basis in twenty years when I created the
Speaker 2: high tech text and TV and radio, I haven't worked regularly,
Speaker 2: certainly Monday for through fighting office in twenty plus years.
Speaker 2: I get bored working from home and sitting at home
Speaker 2: on my email. This is my personality. I want to
Speaker 2: work with others. Sometimes if your sight unseen, they forget
Speaker 2: about you. Hi, iHeart folks, remember me Garfield high tech texting.
Speaker 2: I go into the office. Suck it up. It's not
Speaker 2: fun sitting in traffic. I doubt you unless, depending what
Speaker 2: line of work you're in, you don't probably have to
Speaker 2: wear suits. I don't know a lot of my lawyers.
Speaker 2: They go in and they do wear suits, lawyer buddies.
Speaker 2: But why is everybody him and a hauin. How lazy
Speaker 2: can you be going to a freaking You're working for
Speaker 2: a company where they pay you. You kind of should
Speaker 2: take their advice and listen to their rules.
Speaker 3: Go in.
Speaker 2: That's just that me, all right, I'm like og right now.
Speaker 2: People are like, shut up, Michael, you don't know what
Speaker 2: you're talking about. That's I'm old. I want to I
Speaker 2: want to jail with people. I want to hang by
Speaker 2: the water cooler and talk about football games. I want
Speaker 2: to have brainstorming sessions. I just hey, man, what are
Speaker 2: you doing for lunch? Let's go grab a little bite.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just wear nice clothes. I want someone
Speaker 2: to compliment on my on them. I just you know what,
Speaker 2: get into the office and just hope companies like Logitech
Speaker 2: and Webcamp companies they don't monitor and make sure you're there.
Speaker 2: Vital segment coming up. I'll give it out the number
Speaker 2: one more time, three four, six, twenty nine. Texan shout
Speaker 2: out KPRC nine to fifty News radio, twelve hundred, WAI

Speaker 2: Birthday weekend. We'll be right back final seven. We made
Speaker 2: it well, we almost made it. Eight or nine minutes
Speaker 2: to go before it is truly happy hour and I
Speaker 2: could celebrate officially my birthday. And I do thank everybody.
Speaker 2: It's very nice to get emails and from listeners who
Speaker 2: have no clue who I am, but maybe they've listened
Speaker 2: to me for well over two decades. It's uh, it's

Speaker 2: A N. If you don't follow me on Instagram, you
Speaker 2: ain't gonna win stuff. You ain't gonna see all the
Speaker 2: neat stuff that I posted. Just this week alone, I
Speaker 2: saw some really neat cars and yachts and boats at
Speaker 2: the Houston Auto Show. Monster Jam is in Houston, and
Speaker 2: I got to go behind the wheel, really climbed up
Speaker 2: into a cockpit of a massive monster Jam. The thunder roars.
Speaker 2: Thanks to those folks for letting me back there, so
Speaker 2: I got put my camera in there and gave you
Speaker 2: my point of view. And you know, I'm I'm learning
Speaker 2: how to. I'm getting better at editing and video editing.
Speaker 2: Even my kids, my twenty year old influencing kids, influencer
Speaker 2: kids like, hey, you're you're getting pretty good with this
Speaker 2: thing they're teaching me. But I am here to teach
Speaker 2: you no matter what age UH given. No more phone
Speaker 2: number if you didn't get in by right now. Up
Speaker 2: suck it up. It's not gonna happ I will probably
Speaker 2: get to an email here real quickly, and I did. Actually,
Speaker 2: here's one hold on, let me do it. If I
Speaker 2: get an email, you have to hear this sound. That's right.
Speaker 2: I do have mail that's old school right there by
Speaker 2: the way. This is from Who's this from? LIMBSA get
Speaker 2: the email. Somebody's got a hotmail hotmail dot com. Oh,
Speaker 2: we are turning it back over there the original Microsoft
Speaker 2: email back of the day that was free hotmail dot com.
Speaker 2: Jonathan at hotmail dot com. Hey Garf, I know you
Speaker 2: do a lot of radio show, but then they podcast
Speaker 2: it too. But it seems like your podcast the exact
Speaker 2: same of your radio show, which does make it convenient. However,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about starting podcasting. Any tips for me, but specifically,
Speaker 2: what gear should I get and can I do it
Speaker 2: at home? Or do I need to create some sort
Speaker 2: of a studio love answering questions like this? Love it?
Speaker 2: Hey listen, I'm a professional. I have a Radiotelevision Film
Speaker 2: communication major from the University of Texas. You are not
Speaker 2: allowed to do podcasts. Actually, I am probably the only
Speaker 2: person who does a podcast in a radio show who
Speaker 2: has a radio, Intellivision and film degree, because ain't nobody
Speaker 2: need no degree to do any of this stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: That's sad, that's the way it is. But anyway, to
Speaker 2: answer your questions, I have I funny because I have
Speaker 2: a Bachelor of Science degree, which is actually a BS degree,
Speaker 2: which that's how I've been in radio. But anyway, a
Speaker 2: Bachelor of Science degree in radiotelligent film. I specifically took
Speaker 2: the science of it. How to light a room? How
Speaker 2: when you're on video camera? What microphones the audio portion?
Speaker 2: Is it an omnidirectional? Is it a unidirectional? Is it's
Speaker 2: you know? What? Is it a HyperCard? You? I do
Speaker 2: a lot of things, and the equipment is vastly improved
Speaker 2: since I was in college, and they're they're vastly cheaper
Speaker 2: than when I was in college, too, and there's a
Speaker 2: number of things you can get to. I will tell
Speaker 2: you this. You want to invest in a very good microphone,
Speaker 2: and I will tell you this too when it comes
Speaker 2: to microphones, if you want to record something, maybe you're
Speaker 2: a singer and whatever. I have tried a lot of
Speaker 2: these USB microphones, which is a microphone, and it's got
Speaker 2: a USBC or a USB A and you plug the
Speaker 2: microphone directly into a computer. I don't like those there there,
Speaker 2: it's it's it's poppy. You need some you need to
Speaker 2: go between to me. The really true microphone. You need
Speaker 2: an xl R connection. And that's the old fashioned microphones
Speaker 2: that we have here in the radio studio. It's the
Speaker 2: big one and a half inch or whatever. It is
Speaker 2: long metal with three little prongs that you put you know,
Speaker 2: male prongs that you put into a female you know, Jack,
Speaker 2: that's an xl R you want that. A matter of fact,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what what. When I bought some podcasting
Speaker 2: equipment six months ago, I got again not an endorsement
Speaker 2: over here, even though Movo Photo you should pay me.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you some love right now. M O
Speaker 2: v O E H O t O. Movo is the
Speaker 2: name of the company, and they had a bundle which
Speaker 2: made it easier for me, so I didn't have to
Speaker 2: PI S mail it. And I think I got the
Speaker 2: md X two. So what it is, it's it is
Speaker 2: two microphones, so now I can have a podcast with
Speaker 2: with one on the people that I think it was
Speaker 2: about three hundred dollars, but it comes with everything you need.
Speaker 2: Number one, it does come. It comes with two microphones
Speaker 2: and their xl R. They're cardioid, which is the pattern
Speaker 2: of where it picks up the sound. Does it pick
Speaker 2: up around you or is it solo where your mouth
Speaker 2: is xceler microphone and those it seems to be. It
Speaker 2: gives me some rich balance sound, good frequency response, It
Speaker 2: minimizes the background noise, good studio quality recording, very durable,
Speaker 2: the metal construction. It comes with different colored little foam
Speaker 2: little microphone covers so you know you don't hear the
Speaker 2: pops too much. So it comes with two of us.
Speaker 2: But then it comes with an audio interface. And what
Speaker 2: it is, it's this compact device. It's about what is it?
Speaker 2: It's I fit in my palm. Very light, six inches
Speaker 2: by three inches by three inches or whatever.
Speaker 1: This is it.
Speaker 2: You can put double a batteries so it's battery powered,
Speaker 2: so you don't even need to connect it to your computer.
Speaker 2: But it also does come with the USBA and a
Speaker 2: USBC and a lightning cable for connecting to your PC.
Speaker 2: I know what I just said. Hear me out. I said,
Speaker 2: you don't want to connect your microphones directly to your PC.
Speaker 2: Your laptop through USB. This has that interface, has this
Speaker 2: little box, very lightweight box that you can individually connect
Speaker 2: and do the volume on each of the microphones, turn
Speaker 2: it up, turn it down, and do anything you need
Speaker 2: with the Movo series, the Mobo md X two, it
Speaker 2: comes with uh. It also comes with the little arms
Speaker 2: that you can put the microphones on, very heavy weight.
Speaker 2: It's it's good so you know you don't need to
Speaker 2: hold the microphone and it really looks like you're doing
Speaker 2: some profession stuff. They have a ton of them's. Again,
Speaker 2: I don't even have an account to get a commission
Speaker 2: for this. It's not the point. I'm just giving you
Speaker 2: my advice on iHeartRadio across the world that Movo they
Speaker 2: really have long had some good microphones, podcasting, vlogging, streaming,
Speaker 2: cameras and video stuff. So if you're into this, thank
Speaker 2: you for that email. Take a look at Mobo photo
Speaker 2: dot com. But it's don't feel free to displurge. Don't
Speaker 2: go cheap. Not that these things are expensive whatsoever. I
Speaker 2: think movid does a great job at pricing these things.
Speaker 2: That's what I use and that's my recommendation. So as
Speaker 2: I end my birthday show on my birthday weekend. Let
Speaker 2: me tell you what I don't need. I don't need
Speaker 2: any podcasting equipment, and I don't need a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't need any cars because I test cars every
Speaker 2: single week. Don't need any phones because probably I got
Speaker 2: eight phones at any given time. I just need you
Speaker 2: to love people. I need you to follow me on
Speaker 2: Instagram high tech text at h I g h T
Speaker 2: E c h T E x A N. You want
Speaker 2: to give me a birthday gift, go to Instagram and
Speaker 2: follow me, and then just just go on one of
Speaker 2: my recent posts, my videos and just say happy birthday, car.
Speaker 2: I just want some love from it because I have
Speaker 2: spent two plus decades giving you some good information. Listen
Speaker 2: on behalf of Every Bride, Calumar you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Everybody at iHeart shout out to Dallas, Houston, San Antonio,
Speaker 2: where we broadcast over the air to those millions and
Speaker 2: millions of people, three of the top nine largest populated
Speaker 2: cities in the country. I am there and also on
